After the hearing Detective Constable Andy Fearon of North Wales Police said: “This kind of offence causes huge damage, not just to the child, but also to the wider family.

“Thomas is a sexual predator who exploited the most vulnerable members of society, children and ‘stole their childhoods’. I hope this sentence goes some way to address that and provides his victims with a sense of justice and allows them to move on.

“His sentence also reflects the seriousness in which offences of this nature, no matter when and where they were committed, are investigated and I would reassure victims of similar unreported crimes to have confidence in North Wales Police in taking your complaint seriously and in providing the appropriate specialist support to assist victims through every stage of the investigation and prosecution process.”
